I integrate various specialties including mindfulness, stress management, trauma informed, culturally competent and expressive therapies. I believe in the importance of working from a client-centered, strength-based and relational approach. I offer a supportive and open-minded therapy setting to help navigate life's various stressors. I can assist with short-term goals to increase coping skills and promote self-exploration. I provide therapy services for people from a variety of cultural backgrounds and diverse communities.

My approach to therapy is integrative with an emphasis on multicultural, family systems, psychodynamic, and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).

I take a feminist, multicultural, and interpersonal approach to my therapeutic work. I am interested in mindfulness for managing mood concerns and for overall wellness; I encourage dance, art, coloring books, knitting, and other less ‘traditional’ forms of mindfulness. I hope to work collaboratively with clients to identify and build upon strengths, and empower them to make changes.

As a social worker and the Case Manager at CAPS, I operate from a systems perspective—family, classes, living situation, national and international events all have an impact on our mental and emotional health, and my work takes these into account as we think about the full picture of a client’s life. I also aim to break down barriers among these systems so that clients can access the resources they need (ongoing therapeutic support, medication, food, housing) to be well.

As a social worker, my goal is to create a non-judgmental, trauma-informed, supportive space that facilitates empowerment and honors multiple social identities. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based drawing from interpersonal/relational, cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, and emotionally-focused therapy techniques. I have trained in Exposure and Response Prevention therapy for OCD and am currently enrolled in a sex therapy certificate program.

I use a strength-based approach during therapy to collaborate with clients to ensure therapy focuses on what is most relevant to the client. I use an integrative model, utilizing modalities including CBT, psychodynamic and relational approaches. I approach therapy through a multicultural lens to examine different facets of my clients' identities to get a fuller picture of why an issue may be present. While recognizing hardships clients are experiencing, I aim to use our brief time-frame to find ways to cope and begin to heal while making sure the student receives the resources they need moving forward.

My approach to therapy is both integrative and collaborative. I utilize a client-centered and interpersonal orientation within a multicultural-feminist framework. I aim to work with individuals in a way that is empowering and strengths-based, in an effort to co-create personally relevant goals that gear individuals toward valued-living.
